JOHN FLECK has been discharged from hosptial, it has been confirmed.
The Scot collapsed during Sheffield United's Championship clash against Reading last night.
Jayden Bogle grabbed United’s winner but the match was overshadowed by the second-half incident when Fleck went down apparently unchallenged, with his team-mates quickly indicating for the medics to run on the pitch to tend to him.
He was stretchered off the field and taken straight to Royal Berkshire.
This morning we updated you with news that the Scotland internationalist, 30, was conscious and talking.
Now, Sheffield United have confirmed he has been discharged from hospital after extensive medical examinations.
A tweet from the Blades reads: "Sheffield United is grateful to report that John Fleck has been discharged from hospital and will return to Sheffield today (Wednesday).
